Icing my head…

Clumsy enough to bump my head against something twice in a week: once a desk and now a wall. Every time this happens to my forehead, the memory of my kindergarten stories comes to me. I wasn’t one that sits quietly all the time but running a lot in the playground during breaks, I guess. I was helping push friends’ swinging cartridge (big round metal one). Then, whoosh, too high, bang, the cartridge hit my forehead. Left or right, I forgot. Teacher took me to a clinic nearby. Doc prescribed some soothing gel, brown-ish color. Trying to calm a crying kid, teacher told me I’ve got some ‘chocolate’. Not long after, maybe a couple weeks later, whoosh, bang, the other side of my forehead got hit again in the same manner. Teacher took me to the clinic again. This time doc gave me a milky-looking gel. Teacher called it ‘milk caramel,’ another kids’ favorite. Fun childhood memory never goes away. Only this time, twice on the same side of my forehead…
Well, I guess this was how my forehead was shaped.


冰敷額頭中…

白痴地在一個星期裡撞了兩次頭：一次撞上桌子，這次撞在牆上。每每撞到頭就喚起了兒時的記憶……
幼稚園時下課最愛跑出去玩那個大大圓圓搖來搖去的鐵球﹝誰快點來告訴我那個叫什麼呀？﹞，喜歡站在裡頭盪來盪去，但是有時候滿載時也需要在下面幫著朋友推。啊～盪得太高了！碰！鐵欄撞上了我的前額，已忘了是左是右。蕭老師帶我去旁邊的診所，詹醫師給了罐咖啡色的軟膏，老師安撫我說要乖乖擦巧克力哦！隔不了多久，幾乎一模一樣的情節再次發生，只是這次換撞上了另一邊額頭。哭著，又到了診所，這次醫生給了罐白色軟膏，老師叫它牛奶糖。白痴、回想起來卻有趣的兒時回憶，感謝有老師。只是，這回，我一連撞上兩次的是同一邊額頭。

或許，我的額頭就是這樣被我撞凸的…。﹝笑﹞
